Guild Wars 2

Okay, this bug has been reported…

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Flame-Burst-No-line-of-site/5827655

But it is so annoying that I feel it merits special attention. Flameburst isn’t even a great skill in the first place. A bug that makes it almost worthless is nearly enough to make me want to drop staff. Anybody else feel similarly? Is there a trick to avoiding it? Seems less likely to happen the more I move when casting it, but I haven’t found anything specific to get around it. Not sure what broke it, but…ANet, please fix this.

Working as intended. It was hotfixed with hot if i remember correctly. I find it annoying too though; i was used to see my ele turning to cast it, now you have to use proper positioning. Especially at close range.

Really? This is intentional? Was it listed on one of the updates? If intentional, it isn’t merely a nerf to an already weak skill, but an annoying one. What would be the intended purpose for such a change?
